This invention relates to protective eye goggles, and more particularly goggles suitable for eyes which also require corrective lenses; and it is among the objects of the invention to provide a' safe and accurate mounting for corrective lenses that may be required as wellas the protective or filter glasses. Afurther object is an improved frame construction. Other objects and ad- 1 vantages will appear as the description proceeds. Q V

To the accomplishment of the foregoing and related ends, the invention, then, consists of the features hereinafter fully described,

and particularly pointed out in the claims, the following descriptionand the annexed drawings setting forth in detail certain structures embodying the invention, such being illustrative however of but a few of the various ways in which the principle of the invention may be employed.

In said annexed drawings Fig.1 is a front elevation of an embodiment of the invention;Fig. 2 is a plan view, half in section; Fig. 3 is a detail section taken on a plane indicated by the'line III-J11, Fig. 2; Fig. 4 is a section taken on a plane indicated by the line IVIV, Fig. 3; Fig. 5 is a detail in plan showing a modification and Fig, 6 is a sectional detail taken on a plane indicated by the line VIVI, Fig. 5.

In its general aspects, the invention contemplates aframe, carrying lens-holding rings and protective-glass goggle cups. The.

frame includes a bridge 2 with arms extending thence laterally and to these in turn are attached goggle cups 3 of metal, composition,

bakelite or other phenolic condensation prod-' uct, rubber, celluloid or other material as desired, preferably screws 4 being passed through the framing and the cups. Within each gogglecup is a lens-holding ring 5 having a split joint 6. While such ring may be held by shoulders or suitable locking means I prefer to seat it in the cup toward the front, and further secure it against displacement by passing the screws 4 through lugs 7 extending rearwardly for that purpose. In this manner a secure anchorage of the lens ring f may be had, and yet allow of disassemblage conven'iently for the placement or change i of a lens thecorrectivelensesfi irequisiteifor y p li la rease h e-t u pe d spectacle usageff'ihe rings or ringgroovesl needgnotfbe limited toj 'one, andarplurality of corrective lenses, or correct ve and protective glasses maybereadily mounted; and in;

The protective or filter glass 9 may be positioned, as indicated, tothe front ofthecorrective lens and; i may be secured in place by a screw-threaded ring 10 engageable with the goggle cup.

While in manyinstances, the goggles may head by. an adjustable headbandv 11, where corrective lenses of considerableparticularity are required, I contemplate the applica tion of temple bows, the framing being oar ried about the goggle cup to a lug-joint12 to which the temple bow 13 (Fig. 5) be j secured; i j

Itwill-thus be seen that correctivelenses may be accurately and conveniently carried in conjunction with protective or filter glasses and in a manner allowing of ready disassem- I blage for changes at anytime and avoiding the handicap heretofore customary in the case of protective goggle usershaving inherent defects of'vision.

Other modes of applying the principle of the invention may be employed, change being L made as regards the details disclosed, provided the means stated in any of the following claims, or the equivalent of such, be employed. v

' I therefore particularly point outand distinctly claim as my invention 1. In a spectacle goggle, the combination of a frame, gogglecup's thereon, screws connecting the frame to the upper and lowerjsides of said cups, a lens-carrying ring within each cup, and top and bottom lugs extending rear wardly from said rings andengaged by said connecting screws." 7' i i 2.
